That seems like a shame. Are they ill, or just in the wrong spot at the wrong time?
Could you post a full-coin shot of the second one (with feeder finger marks)?
Samsung phones have an annoying "Beauty Mode" for selfies. It smooths skin and probably does other stuff as well. I wonder how hard it would be to...
I guess the fundamental disconnect is that I handle exclusively lower-value and more-common coins, unless I find a rarity by sheer luck, and I...
Okay, this brought me up short. "Bad money drives good money out of circulation" -- and what could be worse money than a theoretical construct...
I guess the aluminum clamped to the cent offered galvanic protection while it was in the ground. I've seen these "good luck tokens" plenty of...
Meh. This came in a few days ago; it's common junk, sure enough, but $90 worth of silver for $75. If everyone thought searching was a waste of...
If you don't think regular cash payments have "value", I'm afraid it isn't our heads over which points are flying.
Ah, the old "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" argument. I'm sorry, but I don't find it entirely reassuring.
So, will I need to bring a notary to the checkout line with me, or will the store provide one? And how will the "witnesses" be trained to...
<crack> "Guys, you won't believe my luck! I just found this shiny 1916-D dime in a self-checkout! What are the odds?" Or, at the other end of...
That's a shame. I guess they'll be hitting me up to register for Managed Payments, then. I'd love to know the details of the arrangement. How did...
It's four dents, I think. Three of them are short parallel lines, and there's a mashed area to one side; that's all your brain needs to construct...
It sounds like you're within striking distance of a Dos Pesos, but you'll need patience, and/or probably a bit more money saved up.
Even a gram is pretty costly these days, $62.70 spot. Gold fanams, extremely tiny coins from India dating to the Middle Ages, can be had for...
I'd like to narrow down the scope of this "all coins must have provenance" concept, which seems alarmingly broad. I check my change regularly....
Best I've got is a beer bottle full of pennies that I filled up during my first year or two at college. Taped it shut in early 1982, and haven't...
Welp, I dithered my way into a decision again, apparently. :rolleyes:
Please elaborate. Or are you just talking about the Managed Payments debacle?
The coin world is considerably different, for better or for worse.
